Bowden's Own Exterior Detailing Review | FocusOnDetailing

[@BowdensOwn]

Thanks a lot Tim! I was not aware you were doing this and can appreciate it's a big task with so many different ones used in this video. But really happy to see you're liking our system of Aussie made and developed products. I noted the new Wheely Clean did not really react too strongly there, must not have been too much brake dust to react with, as you keep your beast too clean! Our chemists are already working on upgrades to that, as well as more new formulas in their final phases of development as well, so keep your eyes out for those too. Once again, thank you for this support of a local Aussie company!

[@focusondetailing3855]

I really enjoyed making this video! I was flat out detailing, filming and editing but I'm hoping it came out okay and others will be able to pick up a thing or two. Yeah my wheels weren't overly dirty, lacking the brake dust which in turn didn't make for a great display of purple but I'm sure others will find if they spray it on theirs in the same way the results could be different. That's the only downside to keeping my car clean, I struggle to really show some products working haha. Really looking forward to the products to come! Thanks for the comment!

[@HTES962]

Wheely clean is amazing

[@darrens7040]

And the new one "no longer smells like arse."

[@James-yd5ym]

BowdensOwn I used that fully slick today and it’s great love it

[@MassRSN]

Send this man some products. We love the videos!

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

And a beautiful effect without the inclusion of silicone within the product formulation. Bowdens Own products really are underated. Try giving the Bowdens Own clay towel a go with lubricating auto gel, and there are two grades available. And to clean your windscreen, use the clay bar. It will remove all the stubborn buildup and will improve wiper operations. Great vid. Great info. All good Tim. 👍👍

[@BowdensOwn]

Just need to point out that the Tyre Sheen is oil silicone based product here mate! We don't use that in the other product formula's, rather going for newer water based ingredients that mean we don't need to use them for the better blending and usability, but it does make them all more expensive to make though.

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

BowdensOwn : Thanks guys. Your feedback is really appreciated.

[@focusondetailing3855]

Hey Andrew, thanks for commenting! I was going to clay my windscreen and in fact should've stated that it can be done but I purposely left the glass with a simple clean as I want to make a video dedicated to super cleaning the windscreen. Including cleaning, claybar, polishing and sealant.

[@ZacBaldy]

Once again mate GREAT VIDEO!!!! I'm loving your videos more and more!!

[@focusondetailing3855]

Cheers mate!

[@hadiskids321]

Yooo zack I dintedknow you know him!

[@MrSymo66]

Just came across this video today Tim. Thanks for showing all the products. I am keen on the products because they are Aus made and owned. As a kid I used to go to the Big Pineapple in Nambour where the Bowden’s collection now lives. I purchased a little Volvo C 30 in March that was unloved as the previous owner was a smoker and left the paint very unloved. The Bowden’s products have brought the hatch back to life even though it’s pearl white the dull paintwork was very evident. Would love to see you get a dull and lifeless white car and show us how to bring it back to gleaming like it left the factory.

[@superjzh]

Nice work mate!!! Nothing is more relaxing than detailing beloved cars.

[@aussiebattler96]

Okay now im fully sold on bowdens, i love wheely clean did an amazing job. but now my car just needs an all round cleanup, paint was never looked after and im sure these products will bring that shine back!

[@jackxie8749]

How does the orange agent compare to the basic multipurpose cleaner from coles or woolies?

[@Bupalooga1]

Your 'Really dirty' ute is basically mine within a couple working days on site, it sucks having a good vehicle that's impossible to keep clean! But it does mean I wash regularly and videos like yours are awesome for helping me make product decisions and how to use them. Keep it up, Ill be watching!

[@kenwebb5780]

great video Tim, so after watching this video i gather there is no need to polish the vehicle as the products you use do that as well as clean the car.am i correct in thinking that.look forward to your reply cheers.

[@scottyt6012]

Hey mate great vid, how come you didn’t use Lazy or carnauba wax after PCR?

[@Mowdayz]

Thank you so much for doing a video on the Bowdens stuff.

[@focusondetailing3855]

All good mate! Loved doing it

[@thecodfather5204]

I'm not sure if you have, but I think it'll make for a great video if you do a Bowdens Own Interior Video Review

[@jayh9639]

Hi tim, just a tip - snow job goes on dry, without a rinse prior. Also, an Awesome video, been waiting for this!

[@focusondetailing3855]

Good point man. Just a habit of mine to double up with rinsing like that with cars that are super dirty. Mine could've gone without it but it doesn't hurt. Thanks for the comment!

[@jayh9639]

FocusOnDetailing No worries. Keep up the good work, your videos aren’t long enough! hahaha! 😉 But in all seriousness, the amount of time and work you put in to make these videos is amazing.

[@Daza888Fan]

With Snow job too you are meant to start at the back at the bottom and work up. Then wheels and up. Great video. Love the Bowdens own products.

[@lukewalker5111]

Great video mate, their products are great. Something to note is Fully Slick can be used as a drying aid also. I'd like to see a durability test if you're doing more on their products. Keep it up.

[@fastmonaro05]

Not a bad video. Yes I have used a few Bowdens products and they are really good. Clay bar with their quick detailer spray worked very well on a few vehicles I have done. LOVE their South Korean made microfiber cloths like the drop bear and their big green cloth for soaking up water. Wheely clean works very well but the smell..........MMMMMM it is nothing I have smelt ever before. But kills brake dust. Their Snow Foam in their snow foam cannon is brilliant!!!!!!!!!! Also used the interior Vinyl restorer which works well on the 1974 HQ trim. Great an Aussie company can make such great products. They are all top quality. I still use top polishes like Car Pro, Concours, Scholl, Menzerna, TLC but maybe Boydens can eventually come out with some to compete with these. Orange Agent is brilliant as a APC for interior and exterior. Very strong cleaner. Go Bowdens.

[@AusMLEGelBall]

Love your video showing these great products. I really like the portable shade set you used before going into the garage. Think I need to get something similar aswell when washing the car outside. Keep up with these great videos.

[@peterstevens7409]

EXCELLENT WORK -how long to go thru the whole process also how long will it last many thanks

[@david3brown]

How come you went for after glow following the paint cleanse and restore? Doesn’t after glow need to go onto wet surfaces?

[@mitchmckeiver1429]

You should certainly try bowdens clay towel, it comes in a medium grit too and is easier to hold when applying and I feel its quicker too

[@leecox7814]

Tim have you tried Mr Black yet to restore faded plastic? I've been a professional detailer for 20 years and it's the product I've been waiting for.

[@focusondetailing3855]

Hey, can't say I have yet but I'm really keen to. I was close to buying solution finish but then Bowden's Own brought Mr Black out! Could be a perfect go to for plastic restoration. The reviews already look really good!

[@kenken-so8vu]

how long did it take from start to finish? thanks for this great video.

[@adamsadventures24]

Hey mate, great video may I ask what brushes you were using for the wheels and wheel arch. Would love too get some for my car. Also neat XR6

[@focusondetailing3855]

Thank you for the comment! The brushes or wheel woolies I was using for the rims were from a site called waxit and the brush I was using for the tyres is from SuperCheap Auto.

[@jeffkogler1170]

Thanks for the video Tim. Very helpful. Except for the bottle the Foamee foam cannon = Bowdens Snow Job Cannon?

[@focusondetailing3855]

Glad you liked it mate! Haha yeah I've had that foam cannon for quite some time now and it does do a great job but I could imagine that Bowden's Own Snow Job Cannon would do just as well.

[@JFomo]

Fully Slick works great on glass, especially the windscreen.

[@pentagrammm5205]

Please, why did you use the Fully Slick after the After Glow? just curious. ( i read after glow is dust resistant)

[@focusondetailing3855]

I believe you can do it either way with After Glow then Fully Slick or Fully Slick then After Glow. Both being water based sealants and can be layered. This is just what was recommended. I have actually read that as well. It did do a fantastic job keeping the car clean over the weeks through the rainy and dusty days.

[@pentagrammm5205]

FocusOnDetailing ok fair enough. thanks for the reply. Fantastic channel!

[@chriswilliams7071]

Hi Tim. Quick question. What pressure washer do you use. And if it’s a Gerni do you use the turbo nozzle? Thanks

[@jordanwilliams1627]

Awesome video mate . Thanks for the tips

[@nicmmangakahia]

How long did this take?

[@focusondetailing3855]

Around 5 hours, that was while messing around with filming. Likely less if you just had to worry about the cleaning :)

[@ryanwalter4059]

I'm just curious is that Afterglow similar to like a quick detailer wax?

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Hi Ryan, I can't speak for a dark coloured car, but I use it on my white car by spraying straight onto a Big Green Sucker when chamoising dry after a wash & rinse. It seems to have a great drying agent that helps prevent water marks & streaking. I then use Fully Slick or Lazy Wax as a final coating to give it a gleaming finish. Apologies Tim for jumping in here mate!

[@kenlawton1531]

Good review mate well done😉 regarding the PC&R, whilst I know it's not a glaze as such, as it has no filling ability, to me it still performed like a glaze by leaving a beautiful finish. Thoughts?

[@BowdensOwn]

Hey Ken, the Paint Cleanse and Restore has got a touch more cleaning power than a glaze traditionally has, plus no protection and no resin fillers in it either... So it's not in the same grouping as a what most would expect from a glaze. It's a little bit in its own area, made to give a deeper clean with its combination of cleaning oils, just what we needed before applying any of the final stage products we have.

[@kenlawton1531]

BowdensOwn I applied it with a DA and although my car is always immaculate I really did like the finish it left. I'm a fan 😉

[@BowdensOwn]

Can get dry pretty quick with a DA, one day we will make products to be better suited with the machines too, that will be great fun!

[@kenlawton1531]

BowdensOwn I really liked how it applied with the DA, finishing pad medium speed, applied it lovely and thin with no probs whatsoever 😉😊

[@focusondetailing3855]

Well looks like Bowden's have that question covered haha. I was thinking along the lines of it being in the glaze category too but obviously not quite right. I loved it and was tempted to try it with the DA but thought I'd keep it simple so others can follow. Still manages to bring out the best in the paint as long as it's not too damaged. Thanks as always for commenting mate

[@jackknight349]

Awesome video helped me a lot with detailing me own car cheers mate

[@brianconway4977]

I need to get tree sap off my car.I got tatata Do I give the car a full detail than use tatata

[@XyzzyRacing389]

Great video mate, I was weary of buying Snow Job because of it's price but after this video I'll definitely grab some, just wondering do you know if Bowdens Own do bulk lots (e.g 5L bottle/tub of wash or snow job)? Also would love to see a review/comparison video of some RO Polishers if that's possible for you to do :)

[@BowdensOwn]

We certainly do 5 (and 20) litre drums and they save you a decent amount as well. Click the size button to see the current pricing in the link below and use the part number BOSNOW5L to special order it in from any Autobarn or Supercheap store. www.bowdensown.com.au/products/exterior/snow-job

[@7071t6]

That spray on tyre shine is the worst, meaning that all spray on tyre shine products, unless you spray it on the towel, that way the excess spray does not hit your panels or wheels rims, (meguiars gel tyre with the tyre shaped foam pad) trim is simply the best and once dry ,it does not come off for at least two weeks even in wet driving. :)

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

As good as that tyre sheen is, and i use it on all 3 of my cars, it most certainly DOES sling spots onto the body, even after waiting many hours and it doesn't matter how you apply it. Fully slick will really only last about 3-4 days of sitting in the rain, car driven or not. Great for a quick clean before or at a show, but it won't last long if the car is used. Their products are some of the very best consumer stuff around, i have used alot of them for at least 15 years now, but this is almost like a paid presentation in the way that you say a couple little things there that just aren't true.

[@samsue1224]

Man that foam looks sick When I do mine the foam is watery and doesn’t seem to hold for long.

[@samsue1224]

I’m Using snow job and Bowdens snow cannon 100ml snow job to 900ml water Not sure what’s up

[@marklowe7431]

I'm going to mess with the kids heads this Christmas. That snow will do the trick.

[@phatcars2214]

Mate you are a bloody legend

[@ljp1942]

Wish I could obtain these car products here in Thailand.

[@td4speed]

nice work

[@focusondetailing3855]

Thank you! :)

[@lukehall3487]

I think your BF is the best looked after falcon around

[@focusondetailing3855]

It does get a lot of attention haha. Want to make it look the best that it can and really look after it as I could be getting a new car soon ;)

[@lukehall3487]

FocusOnDetailing owhhh

[@seriousnutter]

Great video many thanks

[@DBatty]

Fantastic video

[@heckler3119]

I gave wheely clean a go after watching this video, it does the job great but man oh man it stinks! Literally smells like someone shit themself! Still it does the job pretty good, would recommend.

[@DenisVujicic]

Why the heck is the music so loud. Trying to watch this with sleeping kids in the next room is impossible as the speech is too soft compared to the music

[@matthewmathias3199]

Awesome as video

[@RBFR01]

Who makes a really good long lasting tire shine?

[@Edumacation95]

finally a fucking aussie! bout time we had someone who knew their shit about detailing, do you think bowdens is on the same level as chemical guys and AMMO, tossing up which to get for my car

[@focusondetailing3855]

Haha thanks for the comment! It's a big statement saying that anyone of those brands are leagues ahead of the others as they all have products that I like and use. Bowden's Own works well and are easily accessible here in Australia, Chemical have a wide range of reliable and affordable products and AMMO has a high status in the detailing community with good reason. Although it is expensive to get the products over into Australia. I used AMMO when I was doing my own car but now with the business I'm working on more cars so I'm better off with Bowden's Own.

[@matthewwebb2498]

Dam looks real nice

[@alvink2112]

Funny because I reckon its still the same like from the start. I reckon they dont work

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Hi Tim, you should do your own review of this Bowden's product as a customer review following Dan Bowden's sales review :-) Bloody hilarious, even better than the onesie video on April Fool's last year kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZzboqmVft58aJY

[@theLEGOguy22]

Gave afterglow a try - waste of money.

[@KS-rt6oy]

love the video but no amount of cleaning product could fix that disgusting ford

[@focusondetailing3855]

Thank you! Haha there's no need to worry. I no longer have it

[@jackknight349]

Awesome video helped me a lot with detailing me own car cheers mate
